How to re-order Sheets in Drafting?

How to re-order Sheets in Drafting?

How to re-order Sheets in Drafting?

(OP)
Is it possible to change the order of Sheets in the Drafting module?  (ie: take Sheet 6, and move it to be Sheet 4 ...)

RE: How to re-order Sheets in Drafting?

Rename SH 4, rename SH 6 to SH 4, then remane SH 4 to whatever...

RE: How to re-order Sheets in Drafting?

You can follow the same process to insert a sheet in between existing sheets if you need to.  However, if you use the system attributes for the sheet number X of the total number of sheets Y, these do not get updated if your rename the sheets as ewh describes, so you will have to override them with manual text.   There is an ER regarding this issue so perhaps in a future release it will work better.

RE: How to re-order Sheets in Drafting?

I've found that NX prints the sheets in the order in which they were created, so renaming them doesn't really accomplish what a true reordering would.

Hopefully this will be addressed soon.  I'd like to see the sheets renumber themselves when a new sheet is inserted.

Hopefully this will be addressed soon.

Unless someone contacts GTAC and have them open a PR or an ER, I suspect that no one will be 'addressing' this, soon or otherwise.

I never caught that before, thanks.
It does update the sheet total, though.

I submitted an ER for this some time ago actually, though I would encourage others to do the same.
